POSITIONING AND INSTALLATION OF THE SHED

POSITIONING THE SHED

This shed is a temporary structure and is not recommended as a permanent building. It is designed to offer protection from sun, rain, light snow, tree sap and bird droppings etc. It is not designed to shelter equipment from excessively high winds or heavy snow.
Choose your shed location carefully. Check for overhead power lines, tree branches, etc. DO NOT install near roofs or other structures that may shed snow, ice or excessive run-off onto your shed.

SITING THE SHED

Erect your shed on the level ground over a firm, level area. Allow enough space near each corner for the ground anchors and tie-down straps supplied to be used as intended. If the ground area is of tarmac or concrete, the use of ground anchor holding-down bolts will be required to anchor the shed to the floor.
Choose a dry location where dampness arising from groundwater in the environment will not undermine the protection offered by the shed.
A masonry floor such as block paving or concrete is ideal, but if this is not being supplied, a timber or shuttering plywood floor, protected by a suitable groundsheet should be used. This will help to create a dry storage environment by insulating the storage space from ground moisture.
Proper anchoring and keeping the cover tight and free of snow and debris is the responsibility of the user. Damage caused by improper anchoring is not covered under warranty.

CARE OF THE SHED STRUCTURE

This shed is NOT designed to support heavy snow. Snow or ice accumulation may cause your shed to collapse. To avoid overload, brush snow and ice off the roof top with a broom or mop to prevent collapse with the resultant damage to property or personal injury.
NEVER clear the roof of snow or debris from inside the shed.
DO NOT use hard-edged tools or instruments, such as rakes or shovels to remove snow. These can cause punctures to the cover.
DO NOT use bleach, alkaline or harsh detergents for cleaning. Doing so will damage the material. Soap and warm water are recommended.
In order to reduce risk of burning and avoid damage, DO NOT- cook, smoke, refuel or use any open flame devices in or around the shed.

USING THE STORAGE SPACE

Never run the engine of any machine inside a closed shed. Ensure that there is adequate ventilation for engines or for any work with paints, cleaners. etc. by opening the door panel and keeping it raised.

CONDENSATION

Take steps to avoid the buildup of condensation inside the shed. Cool, damp winter days and moisture from the breath and body heat of personnel may cause condensation on the inside of the top cover.
A supply of fresh air through the doorway will at least partly remove this issue.
For long term storage of moisture sensitive belongings in all weathers, the use of a dehumidifier may be required, such as those in the CLARKE range. A suitable extension lead to a locally available power supply will be required. Condensation will be much less of an issue during the summer months.

CONSTRUCTION

Have an overview of all parts before attempting installation and make sure all components are supplied.
